The concept was simple yet thrilling: combine the speed of downhill racing with the physicality of ice hockey.

The sport’s blend of speed, skill, and danger makes it a thrilling spectacle for participants and viewers alike. Recently, Ice Cross has been elevated by athletes like Tim Cimmer, whose daring approach has brought new energy to the sport. Cimmer is currently working on a groundbreaking project—a 360 ramp that has never been seen before in ice sports. This innovative feature, debuting at his September event, is set to push Ice Cross to new levels of intensity and spectacle. As Ice Cross continues to push the boundaries of extreme sports, it solidifies its place as a thrilling competition with a growing global fan base.
